Intro D Em7(1) D G/B X2
D Em7(1) D G/B
She's wearing kid gloves
D Em7(1) D G/B
Will handle me carefully
G A7
Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
Bm A *G to G/F# Em7(2)
And bound to break easy
(* don't play the full bar, hit the F# note of the G/F# chord,
on the E string, on the last beat and go straight to Em7)
D Em7(1) D G/B
And if she could talk to me
D Em7(1) D G/B
What good would it do me
G A7
It's no secret where I've been and I have worn so thin
Bm Cadd9 (riff 1) D
And she can see through me
Chorus 1:
G G/F# Em A
I don't believe a word of it
G G/F# Em A
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Cadd9 D
Now that her soft touch is gone
Am
She's got her kid gloves on (riff 2)
(riff 2 repeats from the end of the first chorus more or less
to the end of the song but its down in the mix and hard to tell)
D Em7(1) D G/B X2
D Em7(1) D G/B
Here is what I've found
D Em7(1) D G/B
New York just gets me down
G A7
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Bm A G to G/F# Em7(2)
Back to my home town
D Em7(1) D G/B
And all the way I dreamed
D Em7(1) D G/B
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
G A7
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Bm Cadd9 (riff 1) D
Gulped down by a Greyhound
(Chorus 1)
(Solo over chords for verse, use Emaj scale)
Chorus 2:
G G/F# Em A
I don't believe a word of it
G G/F# Em A
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
G G/F# Em A
Won't come around cause I'll only get hurt and it
Cadd9 D
Now that her soft touch is gone
Cadd9 D
How could she ever go on
Am D
Without her kid gloves on
Repeat D Em7(1) D G/B X6 and end on D

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
